Hacienda del Mar - 1525 Euclid – RTK awarded 2003 Project of the Year

RTK was awarded the 2003 Project of the Year - Special Needs Category, from the Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing for our affordable housing for disabled in a historic building.

This is an affordable housing project designed for total handicapped accessibility within the shell of a historic building. Originally built as the Santa Monica Health Center in 1928, it is the oldest, extant, government-constructed building in Santa Monica .

The building was determined to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places by consensus in 1994, and is therefore listed in the California Register of Historical Resources.

Sailhouse Lofts

Ground breaking took place last February 17, 2004 on this 21 unit live/work complex – two of the units are also dedicated for affordable housing. A vacant lot for years, this will be in-filled with a bold mix of retail and residential spaces. Special detail was taken to address neighborhood concerns resulting in a melding of scale, proportion, circulation and views. This 45,000 square foot building will be a great addition to this seaside community by creating a gateway between the cities of Santa Monica and Venice .
